31、functional problems. When teams consist of experienced employees from hierarchical organizations who have been conditioned to traditional organizational culture, cooperation may not occur naturally. It may need to be created. (17)Furthermore, the issue is not just how the team can function more effe

They should also cultivate such skills as toleration of ambiguity, persistence and patience, as well as assertedness. (18)If a team manager exemplifies such
35、qualities, then the team as a whole would be better able to realize their potential and achieve their objectives.Questions 16 to 18are based on the passage you have just heard.16.
